It is becoming clear that not only do many scientists dispute the asserted global warming crisis, but these skeptical scientists may indeed form a scientific consensus.

Don’t look now, but maybe a scientific consensus exists concerning global warming after all. Only 36 percent of geoscientists and engineers believe that humans are creating a global warming crisis, according to a survey reported in the peer-reviewed Organization Studies. By contrast, a strong majority of the 1,077 respondents believe that nature is the primary cause of recent global warming and/or that future global warming will not be a very serious problem.

The survey results show geoscientists (also known as earth scientists) and engineers hold similar views as meteorologists. Two recent surveys of meteorologists (summarized here and here) revealed similar skepticism of alarmist global warming claims.

According to the newly published survey of geoscientists and engineers, merely 36 percent of respondents fit the “Comply with Kyoto” model. The scientists in this group “express the strong belief that climate change is happening, that it is not a normal cycle of nature, and humans are the main or central cause.”

The global warming nonsense ran across a problem that show the temperature in the last 18 years has not changed. So they quite using the phrase global warming and when to climate change which I agree it is called weather

In the Southern Hemisphere, sea-ice levels just smashed through the previous record highs across Antarctica, where there is now more ice than at any point since records began. In the Arctic, where global-warming theorists preferred to keep the public focused due to some decreases in ice levels over recent years, scientists said sea-ice melt in 2014 fell below the long-term mean. Global temperatures, meanwhile, have remained steady for some 18 years and counting, contrary to United Nations models predicting more warming as carbon dioxide levels increased.

You can get pictures showing polar bear swimming does that mean there is no ice? The ice caps now are at record highs but the news media don't talk about that they find somewhere that has had a high temperature. Two years ago the great lakes in Canada froze over completely this has not happened in the last 100 years. You can nitpick world temperatures to make your point one way or another. The world temperature has been changing since the beginning in time and for the first billion years there were no cars. Also the polar ice caps on Mars started to melt I guess they have too many SUVs . You want to know why we have global warming in is a scam follow the money. There was a professor who wanted to do a study on the decreasing amount of a certain type of mice in an area. He went for funding for the research and was told there was no money for that. He went back and ask for money to show global warming was the cause of the extinction of the mice in a certain area. He was told how much do you need.

I prefer to keep an open mind @Martin Alonzo. There seems to be more scientific proof there is global warming than against. The sceptics normally from countries who produce more ozone gases and relatively rich. Financial gain.

We definately need more renewable energy as oil and gases are not going to last for ever.

On the one hand, we're given photos of polar bears clinging to a piece of ice, in the hopes that this will tug at our heart strings. On the other, we're told that polar bears are being found further south than their natural habitat, and this is also being presented as a sign of impending doom due to global warming. It might also be viewed to indicate that just the opposite is true, that the polar bear range is extended either due to an increase in the polar bear population or that the polar bear habitat is itself expanding. The truth is that a photo proves nothing of substance. Have polar bears never before been seen on a floating piece of ice? Polar bears are able to swim distances of fifty of sixty miles so, quite clearly, they are not unused to water in its liquid form.
